Halloween 2012

So my blogging sails have been a little flat of late.  To tell the truth, I feel like I've had to come up for air a few times and simply breathe.  It's hard to believe that my oldest is only 7 and yet I'm struggling to find a place for everything in a day/prioritizing.  Just plain busy.

I had great intentions of making matching costumes for all of us this year.  But alas, the kids were the only ones who ended up with them in the end.

  I know.  It's fuzzy.  But it's what I have.  My favorite part is the necklace as she so obviously enjoys scooping out the pumpkin guts with her bare hands.  That's my girl!  Our friend Garrick in the background.

 One of the few times the boys graced the carving table with their presence. (R to L) Ben, Patrick and Henry.  Garrick kept scaring them with pumpkin guts.  :)

  Intense scooping and sorting out pumpkin seeds.

 Stacey and I spent most of the time getting the seeds out of the guts. 

 Patrick helped me carve one. 

 Andrew helping Daddy.  I'll have to find pictures of them lit up.  We had a BOO! and a Mike Wazowski that Michael designed. 

 I made these with white duct tape on wax paper.  I thought they turned out alright!

He was so excited when I finished his costume!!  'Course it was bitter cold that night and they all wore coats so you couldn't see their costumes.  But that's part of the risk.
